[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: I read the last couple days of the chat log for this campaign btw
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: and I came up with a good way to get my guy introduced if you haven't come up with one yet
It is afternoon on February 20, 1880. Zach Dallas, Stinky Pete, and their buddhist monk friend are standing outside Long Haired Tony's office.
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: All you then, I have a way but whatever you have will work.
Nick (Stinky Pete): afk on the phone sry
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: I figured it would fit with Zeke's backstory if they first saw him in a duel with an off-duty confederate soldier
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: outside a bar or something
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Well, that happened in Dodge City with Zach Dallas.
Uriel shows up from his "urgent church business."
Uriel Iscariot: Grace of the Lord be with thee...Whom Do i have the pleasure of meeting with this day?
Yojimbo: Ah, brother Iscariot, I was hoping to find you for further amusing conversations.
Yojimbo: It seems that your companions have a need to see Big Ear's Tam.
Yojimbo: I think Zach Dallas was trying to come up with a way to do that.
Zach Dallas: I haven't made too much progress
Yojimbo: Well then, perhaps we should reevaluate the question.
Zach Dallas: So, we need to figure out a way to get Tam's attention
Uriel Iscariot: Tried to just find him directly>?
Zach Dallas: Is that a suggestion, statement, or questoin?
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: So whenever you are ready to jump in, feel free to intro yourself or notify me with any text you want slapped into "story-mode"
TADM: "T" is for Tam's Estate on the map.
Uriel Iscariot: Well, what have you done so far? Last I knew, we were looking for a guy named Sam. whats happened?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Wait, was Sam that old man?
TADM: No, Uriel is a bit confused, Sam was Lacy O'Malley's missing friend.
Ezekial Ikwiano bursts through the doors of the nearby Far East Saloon, towering over a Confederate regular, quaking in fear and fleeing for dear life.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You betta run reb!
Zach Dallas: You mean Roderick?
Zach Dallas: Oh look, more fanatics
Yojimbo: Ah, that looks to be a man of action, perhaps he can help you with your present dilemma.
Ezekial Ikwiano takes out a cigar and lights it as he watches the young Confederate on holiday flee.
Uriel Iscariot: Well, I don't like the violence, but this guy has style!
Yojimbo gets out his knife and resumes carving a crane.
Zach Dallas: Good afternoon, sir! I see you're enjoying this fine day.
Ezekial Ikwiano continues puffing on his cigar.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yup.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Time of day on The Doom Clock?
TADM: It is afternoon of February 20, 1880.
Zach Dallas: Care to join us for a meal? And perhaps a game of cards, should it be your style?
Zach Dallas fans out a few cards, face down
[w] Zach Dallas: I bet HE made some character background!
Yojimbo: The greatest sake was once simple rice my friends.
Ezekial Ikwiano: If you stop talkin so fancy
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I would not have gotten that if I hadn't remembered that Sake is Rice-Wine
Zach Dallas: Sure thing
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: The name's Zach
Zach Dallas: holds out his hand for a shake
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can call me Zeke
[w] Zach Dallas: Let's find out if Fen knows about Hunch :D
Ezekial Ikwiano: shakes Zach's hand.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Strength [1d10 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 9]
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): firmly
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): straight face
Zach Dallas: keeps a straight face, but drops the cards
Zach Dallas: Oops, pardon me
Ezekial Ikwiano ignores the dropped cards.
Ezekial Ikwiano scrutinizes Zach and his companions.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Anya you folks rebs?
Uriel Iscariot: Hello Ezekial Ikwiano. Im Uriel, a simple man of the cloth.
Uriel Iscariot: I'm no rebel.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Whatsa man o' the cloth do?
Zach Dallas: Preacher
Ezekial Ikwiano: You fix clothes?
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: From what you can tell, none of these people were Confederates at any time.
Zach Dallas: sweeps up his cards
Uriel Iscariot: I fix your soul to be clean infront of the almighty.
Zach Dallas: coughs
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shit brotha, yous jus wastin yo time
Ezekial Ikwiano: Aint no use in prayin ta God no more
Yojimbo: I feel that way also, but they are amusing to watch.
GM: Which is a funny statement from a guy dressed as a buddhist monk.
Zach Dallas: Amen to that
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): hopefully
Nick (Stinky Pete): sorry. phone convo is going long
Ezekial Ikwiano: My momma done died near ten year ago
Ezekial Ikwiano: She be runnin' heaven by now
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hell knows what would've happened in a miniquest to put Zach in monk robes
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): hahahah
Ezekial Ikwiano: chuckles as he takes another puff on his cigar.
A crowd of curious Chinese are gathering, wondering what these five people are doing, standing in front of the Sheriff's office.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d6+2 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Let's go grab something to eat
Ezekial Ikwiano: Ni hao chinamen, aint nothin ta see here
A gust of wind swirls down the street, causing the stogie to flare to life for a second, then the embers blow away, leaving Ezekial with an extinguished cigar in his mouth.
Zach Dallas: raises an eyebrow
The chinese watch this for a second, seemingly amused, then disperse.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes, I agree. Let us nourish ourselves, but remembereth that man live only by every word from the mouth of God.
Ezekial Ikwiano bites a chunk off the end of his cigar and chews on it as he puts the remains in his jacket pocket.
Uriel Iscariot rolls his eyes in disgust. Is THAT how you treat a stogie?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Ezekial Ikwiano spits.
Uriel Iscariot: Come Ezekial, I have no idea what you were up to or why you are in this town, but this Zach character is amusing.
Ezekial Ikwiano: An I have no idea what you sayin' preacher
Yojimbo: In many of the wrong ways even, in both regards.
Ezekial Ikwiano: But if we's gettin grub I got no nothin' ta complain 'bout
Uriel Iscariot Follows Zach Dallas to Grub
Uriel Iscariot: So, why are we going after long hair, Zach?
Ezekial Ikwiano follows alongside.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is our current hotel free food for us, now that we have rooms provided?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice on Ezekial
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
TADM: Yes.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Okay, I'm back. Sorry about that
Yojimbo: So, preacher Iscariot, I heard a most amusing Koan the other day, and was coming to ask you about it, "However well of Jesus Christ you talk and sermons preach, unless he lives within yourself, he is beyond your reach." And I was wondering what you felt about that, as I heard it from a fellow monk?
[w] Zach Dallas: would Ezekial be allowed in the Sunrise Hotel?
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: This is most true. The goal of my faith is come to know the Christ within.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Well, assuming you asked that with the common knowledge check, then yes, there is no restriction against him entering.
Stinky Pete: Howdy Ezekial! Stinky Pete's ma name.
Uriel Iscariot: You wish to liberate yourself from fear and desire; that is the way of enlightenment. Christ is merely another vehichle to the same end.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can call me Zeke.
Yojimbo: I concur.
Stinky Pete: Zeke, then
Yojimbo: Although I find that, while the crying boy wants candy, old women like donuts.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You boys sho do like big words
TADM: No, Yojimbo is not crazy, just quoting Zen Buddhist parables.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I know some bible, "A man aint got no betta things in the sun than eatin', drinkin' and bein' happy
Ezekial Ikwiano: God's honest truth
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): thats a pretty cracked out parable.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: Yep. Thats in there too. I love that part.
Zach Dallas heads to the Sunrise Hotel
Ezekial Ikwiano follows Zack.
Uriel Iscariot: Sunrise Hotel? YES.
Stinky Pete goes with Zach
The group reaches the Sunrise Hotel. The waitstaff is as attentive as ever.
Zach Dallas: We'll explain the situation when we get there, Uriel. I want to sit down for this
Uriel Iscariot: Haste do maketh waste, an' idle hands be the Devils.
As you have two rooms, being paid for by Derringer, four lunches are included in your room fee. Therefore you may eat for free. Yojimbo is not charged for his meal.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol Yojimbo
Stinky Pete: quality of alcohol
Zach Dallas: What have you done to get so many freebies?
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 7]
Yojimbo: The rose blooms because she blooms, she never asks why, nor preens herself to catch my eye.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Really damn good, you would say "mid-shelf." You are limited to two drinks.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Two drinks are included in your room rate, additional drinks cost extra.
[w] Stinky Pete: Awww
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) What did the Buddhist monk say to the hotdog vendor?
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 4]
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) "Make me one with everything."
Uriel Iscariot: Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.
Zach Dallas: One of these days, you're going to slip up and say something sensible
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): HAHAH THAT IS HILARIOUS
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) Buddhist monk payed with a $20 and after a few moments asked "Where's my change?"
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) Hotdog vendor answered "Change comes only from within."
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): That one, i had heard.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) They are a matched pair, it is wrong to tell one without the other
Ezekial Ikwiano: So why'd you boys come to Shan Fan?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You coulda talked fancy anywhere.
Uriel Iscariot: I go where there are some souls' that need a savin.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Them Chinamen's got gods a plenty without you preacher
The food is served and it is quite delicious. The restaurant is rather crowded as it is currently lunch time. Everyone around you looks to be businessmen, bankers, or railroad managers. This place is definitely a bit more upscale than the party is used to. To their credit, Stinky Pete draws more stares than Ezekial does.
Yojimbo: I came to study under a pine tree.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Is stinky Pete particularly stinky?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 7]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I too am curious
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 8]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. An' so, I come with that pearl, to share with all, that they may rid themselves of pretenders, and embrace their creator.
Pete definitely smells more like a drunk than anyone else here.
Uriel Iscariot: They shall have no need of eight million gods; there is only one God.
Yojimbo: Ah yes, but the nightingale does not resent the cuckoo's simple song.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: So, Ezekial, how much do you know about the city?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): What kind of lazy preacher rolls a d6 in bible knowledge?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
TADM Quick, someone rescue this session from an in-character philosophical religious debate!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): If it was higher, we wouldn't ever get to use the blooper reel and quote other religious (or not so!) texts.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I came from back east, got on a train headed as far outa tha CSA as I could get
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shan Fan's the end a' the line
Yojimbo: And the beginning of so many more.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Man, you's both be crazy wit' yo God talk.
Ezekial Ikwiano: If yous prayin to anyone otha than my momma, she gonna whup you good when you die
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Sheeit, I tell you what.
Uriel Iscariot: You should pay more attention to either of us. Don't you want to be well centered and pure of heart?
Yojimbo: The wise have no fear of death, for too often have they died.
Zach Dallas: Yeah, but it's only once appiece
Zach Dallas: usually
The group finishes dinner, it is now mid-afternoon on February 20, 1880.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I get yo tune chinaman
Yojimbo smiles.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Aint no point fearin' da reaper, he gon get roun to ya when he gets roun to ya
Uriel Iscariot: I think we should Find Sam.
Uriel Iscariot: He should be in this hotel.
Zach Dallas: It's not Sam
Zach Dallas: We're looking for Roderick, remember?
Uriel Iscariot: I trust O'Malley, son.
Zach Dallas: What?
Zach Dallas: Didn't O'Malley tell us to seek out Roderick Pennington?
TADM: Yes.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Did he mention a sam?
TADM: You went looking for his friend Sam in Lost Angels.
Uriel Iscariot: Or Pennigton. That works too.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Who's this pen guy an why's you lookin' for him?
Uriel Iscariot: He is also here.
Zach Dallas: You've heard of Lacey O'Malley, right?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Lacy
[w] Zach Dallas: surroundings, anyone tuning in?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I reckon not
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 17]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): BLAM
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): holy shit
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): LOL
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yes, there are several chinese businessmen in western style suits who are listening intently to your conversation.
[w] Zach Dallas: how close are they?
Uriel Iscariot: Looks for a bellhop of some kind.
Yojimbo: Beware that the golden fish has eaten two masters.
Zach Dallas: What?
Bellhop: Yes sir?
Zach Dallas: You just made that up
[w] -> Zach Dallas: one table over.
Yojimbo: Those who needed to hear it, have heard it.
A table with chinese businessmen all rise at once and make a beeline for the door.
[w] Zach Dallas: reaction from the Chinamen?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: I assume that answers your question.
Uriel Iscariot: Hello Wild Card Bellhop. I wish to find a man by the name of Pennington. He is staying at this hotel, and I have a meeting with him.
Bellhop looks horribly confused.
Zach Dallas: Pardon my friend
Bellhop: There are no guests here with the name Pennington.
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: He's not here
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: He's MIA. We guess he was either kidnapped or missing
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: we have free rooms from his friend, though
Uriel Iscariot: Aight then.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is anyone else listening intently?
Yojimbo: I suggest we all visit a dairy farm and listen to the cow's song.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 7]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Decipher Monk
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): WTF is Yojimbo talking about?
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 13]
Uriel recognizes that Yojimbo is speaking in Zen Buddhist parables, as if he knows the answer but cannot give it to you directly. Zach sort of concurs, mostly because he had two shots of vodka and is slightly buzzed.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Uriel Iscariot: Yojimbo...what use are these parables if you can't understand them for what they are?
Uriel Iscariot: That made absolutely no sense to anyone.
Stinky Pete: Good stuff, isn't it? *pounds it down*
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Was that really a Buddhist phrase?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I'm sure it was.
[w] Stinky Pete: How much is 6 more shots?
TADM: It most defintiely was.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: They are $1.50 each.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I got a sayin' "Shotguns make men talk strait."
Uriel Iscariot Speaking Tongues -> Nihongo.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 11]
Zach Dallas: Shotguns make men not talk at all
Uriel Iscariot: Okay Yojimbo, what does that mean in plain speak?
Zach Dallas: And only certain women can keep talking after that
Ezekial Ikwiano: Psh, you put a gun in they face they tell you whateva you wanna know
Stinky Pete buys one shot for everyone at our table
Zach Dallas: Anyways, Lacey is an editor and writer in the Tombstone Epitaph, a sort of occult magazine. Good fellow, though. He suggested we find his friend up here to get help with a persistant problem of ours
[w] Zach Dallas: assuming of course we don't have anyone else listening in
Ezekial Ikwiano accepts Stinky Pete's hospitality.
Yojimbo: It means my friend, that if you look in the skids, in a place that has guards that should not, your quarry likely will be found. And those who are listening do not speak Nihongo, so I see wisdom has found you.
Uriel Iscariot: Elemental Manipulation to remove all Ethanol from beverages - I DROVE THE SPIRITS OUT OF THE TABLE!
Uriel Iscariot: has been awarded a benny
Ezekial Ikwiano: You awright for a honky Pete.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 7]
Yojimbo gets up and leaves, as his purpose here is complete.
Uriel Iscariot: Odaiji ni, Yojimbo.
[w] Stinky Pete: -> Uriel Iscariot: Nice joke, btw. On the phone again, but i can game now
Uriel Iscariot: Okay, heres the plan. Ezekial, how well you know the streets, son?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Sheeit, I lived on the streets since I was 15
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): and I look like it
Uriel Iscariot: Great.
TADM: Please note location of Skids compared to party's current location and the building marked, "T"
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): but if you're asking about his streetwise you're going to be disapointed.
Uriel Iscariot: Aight. Gentlemen, you ready to ditch this place?
Zach Dallas: Sounds about right
Ezekial Ikwiano: I still aint got no idea who you boys are.
Ezekial Ikwiano: But thanks for the grub
Zach Dallas: Tell, me, Ezekial, do you believe in magic?
Zach Dallas shuffles his cards
Ezekial Ikwiano: I believe in what I can eat, drink, punch or shoot.
Ezekial Ikwiano: But I aint neva seen anything that can't be shot
Ezekial Ikwiano: so why not
[w] Zach Dallas: can I ID the types of fields he was working in?
TADM: Honestly, I have to admit that I am surprised you guys have not held a gun to Ezekial's face and demanded he remove his boots so you could check for cards. Really.
[w] Zach Dallas: from my Hunch?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) My boots have holes in them
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) they could just look
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Cotton.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I figured you wouldn't pull that on Fen on his first day
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): It's in my character description lol
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Thats for the resident Zach to do.
TADM: Hey, I'm a bastard DM and Fen is a good roleplayer, you should never know what to expect. ;)
Zach Dallas: So basically what your life before and after you escaped the cotton fields taught you. Yet you haven't actually seen anything yet, right?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I didn't escape shit honky
Ezekial Ikwiano: I earned my freedom
Zach Dallas: Ah, appologies
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): incomplete information was incomplete T.T
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I'm only mad in character
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): u mad brah?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'll get the rest of it later, I'm low on PP right now
Ezekial Ikwiano: My momma always said anythins possible
Zach Dallas: Let's go for a walk for now
Uriel Iscariot: All things are possible through Him, your savior, Jesus.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Psh, Jesus was all talk. Moses was a guy I could get behind.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Momma tol' me all about moses
Ezekial Ikwiano: How he busted his people outta slavery, and killed anythin' what got up they way
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Except psychometry
Uriel Iscariot is impressed. This guy is much better than Zach Dallas or Stinky Pete
[w] Stinky Pete: How much for a bottle?
Bellhop is impressed at how you guys can occupy a table.
Ezekial Ikwiano takes out his previously extinguished cigar and relights it.
Zach Dallas is impressed. This guy is much better than Uriel Iscariot.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: $125.
[w] Stinky Pete: N/m
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): wait, I thought we were walking?
Stinky Pete is impressed that this place has such good whiskey.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): towards the skids?
Uriel Iscariot: To the skids!
Zach Dallas heads towards the T skids
Nick (Stinky Pete): and that Zeke is the only one who thanked him for it
Zach Dallas: Zeke, how'd you like to do some good and get some gratitude and support at the same time?
Ezekial Ikwiano follows Zach.
Zach Dallas: A friend of a friend, Pennington, was apparently kidnapped the other day
Stinky Pete: How can we be "skidding" if we're not even in a vehicle?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Fo $5 a day I'll shoot anythin' what needs shootin'
Zach Dallas laughs
Zach Dallas: Hopefully we won't have to shoot
Zach Dallas: One second, though
Zach Dallas: Gotta update Uriel
Zach Dallas leans over towards Uriel and whispers into his ear, making sure to hide his lips from NPC lip-readers
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 8]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 10]
Nick (Stinky Pete): but not from PC lip readers!
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: Basically, Pennington had this neat amulet that brings the user back to life if they die. Only if they're evil, though. And it was the same as what Cynthia was wearing when Holliday put a bullet in her
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: If I can't read, can I still read lips?
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: We suspect he was kidnapped for that
[w] Uriel Iscariot: -> Zach Dallas: LOL. Okay, so someone wanted the kongor token
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: ROFL
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Uriel Iscariot: We suspect it was either Tam or someone under him
Uriel Iscariot: Okay, Who amongst us is the most keen of sight?
Uriel Iscariot: Is no one of keen sight? Is it sight alone that makes us blind to the unseen?
Zach Dallas: Well, I'm not bad, but I think Zeke and Pete are better
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Ezekial Ikwiano: by the way, I look forward to disecting your character background
Stinky Pete: I is keen of sight. You are keen of light. Zach is keen of spite. And Zeke is keen of ...fight?
[w] Zach Dallas: -> Ezekial Ikwiano: ^.^
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: -> Zach Dallas: it is a fun one imo
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): wow.
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Yes, if you were asking that question seriously.
Stinky Pete: And Yojimbo is keen of slight.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): +1
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): -1
Nick (Stinky Pete): aww
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): you are even
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: lol, I was mostly just kidding but good to know
Uriel Iscariot: Aight then. May the Lord bestoy thee with sight beyond sight...
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 10]
Zach Dallas closes his eyes
Uriel Iscariot: Stat boost to Notice on Stinky Pete
Zach Dallas after no apparent flash, he reopens them
Uriel Iscariot: Now find that which should not be, that which stands alone out of place.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 13]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 9]
The group makes its way down to the "Skids" which is a pretty miserable location filled with those who are suffering and miserable. Everyone here eyes you as prospective marks for either thieving, begging, or killing. Fortunately, the group is well armed enough that everyone clears away from you.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 7]
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): anyone who eye's me as a target for thieving has cheap tastes
TADM: No, these people are just that desperate. You look fed. They do not.
Stinky Pete: [1d10 = 4]
GM: Well, you search around the Skids for the better part of the evening, and into darkness. Being here after dark is not for the faint of heart, even those who are well-armed.
Zach Dallas: Shall we head back for the night or keep it up for a while?
Zach Dallas: I'm up for returning. Can't see anything anyways
Your stomachs start rumbling about the prospect of another delicious meal when Stinky notices a dilapidated looking shack as you are walking back north. There are a couple guards standing at attention outside, and they look completely out of place.
Uriel Iscariot: Gentlemen. Paydirt.
Uriel Iscariot: Good things come to those who wait.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anything else in the surroundings?
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: Ezekial, are you a shooty toon, or a Smashy toon?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): both
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 15]
GM: Lots of wooden slums, beggar children, and not much else to speak of, even Stinky thinks this area is pretty rundown, if the guards had not been standing there, you would never have bothered to look here.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Is that the place?
Uriel Iscariot: Id say it is.
Ezekial Ikwiano: We oughta introduce ourselves
Stinky Pete: Yeah. *cocks rifle* We should.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): about how far are we from this place anyways?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): and is it safe to assume we still stick out like sore thumbs?
GM: This group definitely sticks out like sore thumbs. In fact, the guards just noticed you and stepped back inside the door. The group is standing about 10 from the door. They closed the door when they went back inside.
[w] Zach Dallas: I don't have lock/unlock yet, do I?
Uriel Iscariot: Um...charge time?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: negative
Ezekial Ikwiano walks calmly up to the door and knocks.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Ni Hao boys, anybody home?
Ezekial Ikwiano: My momma says it's not polite to ignore guests.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any other ways in?
Voice: No, now go away.
GM: The building has a door in the front and several boarded up windows around the exterior. A couple other shanties are propped up against both sides. No one has looked in the back yet.
Zach Dallas: Well, if you could give us a hand. We've kind of gotten lost. We've got a map here, but we don't know where on it we are. Could you give us a hand, here? There'd be some $$ in it
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 5]
Voice: There lots of other people around here, go ask them.
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM Can I sneak around to the back while these folk make thier own scene?
Ezekial Ikwiano: They only speak yo crazy china talk, yous the only one we found that speaks english
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: sure
Ezekial Ikwiano: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [1d4-2 = 4]
Voice: Fine you slide map and money under door, we give map back to you.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how likely would it be that a hostage would be near the door?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (Still wants a scenario where Zach blows himself up like Mokou)
Ezekial Ikwiano moves back from the building a few steps.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 2]
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 11]
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM in back Doors and such
[w] Stinky Pete: -> Uriel Iscariot: That was a good day. Mostly b/c I survived

Stinky Pete: Knowledge (Mining) [1d4 = 3]
Stinky Pete: is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Knowledge (Mining) [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
In Zach's professional innocent-killing opinion, the card is likely to blow up about a quarter of the building, so as long as the hostage is outside that range, life is good.
Stinky thinks the ground under the building is made of sulfur, which will maginfy the explosion tenfold.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): odds of hostage being in range of the main exit, and thus noticible if the door is open: Less than 3%
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: you wander around the back of the house and see Weematai helping a much taller white man out the back of the building.
Zach Dallas sighs
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM if hes out some sort of exit, I will use the Barrier spell to put some sort of crumple zone between them and the house.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 11]
Zach Dallas motions to get back
Stinky Pete moves into prime sniping position
Ezekial Ikwiano readies Bo and Luke for some killin'
Zach Dallas gathers a some of his money together and puts a card wedged between them. The card lets off a glow and he wraps it up and slides it under the door, leaping back from the building
Zach Dallas: Get ready
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for this sucker
[w] Zach Dallas: Does the door look like it needs extra damage to destroy?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Nope.
[w] Zach Dallas: what happens if I cast Blast on a card and then Change to make it something else?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You have a flush, and I don't recommend changing your blast after the deal.
[w] Zach Dallas: lol alright, then
[w] Zach Dallas: well, auto-success with a raise
GM: Roll damage, let's get this party started.
Zach Dallas: Blast 2 damage [2d6 = 15]
Zach slides the card under the door, it explodes, sending wooden debris in all directions and making quite a nice hole in the front of the building.

Zach Dallas:
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Do they look like they want to fight still?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano) I would think not
Nick (Stinky Pete) If you combine them together, do you get Bloke or O Klube?
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: btw, that clubbing wasn't just silly bloodthirstiness, that was good 'ol vengeance
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: We'll see.
Zach Dallas: Uriel, I take it you got to Pennington?
Uriel Iscariot: They are safe and have escaped.

Uriel Iscariot Gets to healing some folk if they arent quite dead yet.

Ezekial Ikwiano reloads his weapons while keeping an eye on his Chinese prisoners.
Stinky Pete reloads as well
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Yes, something is missing, let us be on our way to get it.
Uriel Iscariot: Onward then.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: By the way, the name is Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe. I assume you know that already, and that my good friend Rutherford sent you to find me. Doubtless he also told you that I am not the target of these ruffian’s efforts. An artifact I recently had in my possession holds that distinction. I say recently because I was able to hide the device before I was captured while out scouting the hills here. It would take a lot more than these bastards can dish out to make me talk, but unfortunately I didn’t have to hold out. They had one of their bloody mystics pry the secret out of my head without so much as a by-your-leave.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: They are likely on their way to our treasure’s respite right now. Of course I’ll be mounting an expedition to stop them without delay. As it is such short notice, and Dillenger being of limited use in these situations, I could quite use your help, chaps.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe bows to Weematai.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: And Lady
Weematai: Certainly, Grim Wolf said I should help you.
Uriel Iscariot: Lets go!
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe heads off to the north.
Weematai follows the Captain.
Uriel Iscariot: Follow! For great justice!
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll help anyone for $5 a day.
TADM: In Soviet Russia, Mushroom eats you!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Slong as you need shootin' done
Zach Dallas: Weematai, do you know where Grim Wolf is?
Stinky Pete pays $5
Zach Dallas follows after
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe stops, looks skeptically at Ezekial.
Ezekial Ikwiano follows.
Stinky Pete follows
Ezekial Ikwiano takes a fresh cigar out of his pack and lights it.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Good chap, there are things in this world much more important than money.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe resumes the walk north.
Weematai Money?
Stinky Pete: Wampum
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wumpus
Weematai Oh.
Ezekial Ikwiano: My momma always said the same thing, but them things cost money too
Ezekial Ikwiano: Long as I got my freedom, nothin' much else mattas
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: The most important things in life, are not things. And, good chap, I am not talking about the religious nature of the world.
Weematai looks at Ezekial.
Uriel Iscariot: looks deflated.
Weematai: Hi, I'm Weematai.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can call me Zeke, ma'am.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Not to insult the preacher, who will agree with me I think that there are many things in this world that are very important, but they are not frequently items that can be purchased with money.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Money'll buy you food, drink, bullets and women.
Ezekial Ikwiano: what's left?
Uriel Iscariot: Thats a converstaion for another time!
Uriel Iscariot: We must reclaim what has been taken!
Weematai is a young looking Native American dressed in simple leathers. You have to admit that she is very pretty, but looks really naive and nervous, especially around the city of Shan Fan.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Lead on then preacher man
Weematai: Buy women?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You bet sweetheart.
Weematai looks confused and possibly angry.
Ezekial Ikwiano: you wanna share one?
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: Not right now!
Uriel Iscariot: We have to move on
Ezekial Ikwiano: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [1d4-2 = 0]
Nick (Stinky Pete) If Ezekial was an action figure, would he come with Kung Fu Grope?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): probably
The Captain leads you north, out of Shan Fan, it takes a couple hours to get there, which means by the time he comes to a stop, you are being guided by moon and stars. The lights of Shan Fan glow to the south of you, casting eerie shadows among the trees.
Uriel Iscariot: Guts {+3 Veteran} [1d6+3 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: This land...I feel.....
Stinky Pete: Guts {+2 True Grit(S),+3 Veteran} [1d8+5 = 12]

Weematai: Guts {+3 Veteran} [1d6+3 = 10]
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Guts {+4 Grit} [1d10+4 = 12]
Uriel Iscariot: ...someting horrible.
GM: Weematai and the Captain pass their Guts checks.
There is a cave entrance here, it looks like it was recently excavated by several sticks of dynamite.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: I say, that hole was much smaller the last time I was here.
Uriel Iscariot: What was in the hole then?
A gust of wind pulses out of the cave, it sounds like the wailing of damned souls.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: It was a bit smaller, barely large enough for me to squeeze through.
Weematai kneels down, picks up a small bit of earth and tastes it.
Weematai looks thoughtful.
Weematai: Kn (Occult) [1d8 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: What can you tell us Weematai?
GM: Fails roll.
Weematai There is something old about this cave, it seems familiar.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe walks over to the cave and looks in.
[w] Zach Dallas: did I get any PP back?
[w] Zach Dallas: over the course of today
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: I say chaps, it looks like a straight drop, perhaps two yards or so.
[w] Zach Dallas: since we met Zeke?
Uriel Iscariot: The Lord shal provide us light...
Ezekial Ikwiano: Why you always gotta say when yous saying shit?
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2, FEAR! -1) [1d10-1 = 6]
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Maybe the same reason I talk like a hideous stereotype?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Yep.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Three since you met Zeke.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): cause it's funny
Zach Dallas: Notice (FEAR! -1) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-1 = 3]

Weematai ties a rope to a nearby tree and drapes it down the side of the cave entrance.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Good show! Tally-ho!
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe slides down the rope.
Uriel Iscariot: DOWN WE GO!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Agility (Acrobat +2) [1d12+2 = 8]
Ezekial Ikwiano: slides down the rope.
[w] Stinky Pete: Totally just realized that I was missing a penalty to my Guts. Still woulda passed w/ an 11, though
Zach Dallas: follows after Zeke
Stinky Pete: goes last
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You notice about twenty pairs of sandaled feet heading down the slope from the entrance, one of them is significantly larger and heavier than the others.
[w] Stinky Pete: Ahead of us, or behind us?
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Going into the tunnel ahead of you.
[w] Stinky Pete: Oh. Great.
The Captain goes about 30' or so, then stops.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: I can smell blood up ahead, a lot of it.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe looks at Weematai.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: You might not want to continue.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Perhaps you should go back to the entrance.
Weematai: Oh, I'm no stranger to battlefields, just white man cities.
Uriel Iscariot: Nah, we gave you our word.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): perhaps the exit is Dennis?
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Very well then, stiff upper lip and all that chaps.
The Captain leads you into a cavern that is about 40' in diameter. There are a couple dozen smashed bodies in here, it looks like an avalanche killed all of them, but you see no loose rocks.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe: Rather odd, oh well bullocks bad show by them, the amulet should be over here.
Captain Roderick Pennington-Smythe walks over to a spot in the wall.
Ezekial Ikwiano draws Bo and Luke.
Weematai follows the Captain.
Stinky Pete: Good thing we're not in a resturant, or I'd swear they were killed by an aval-lunch
Zach Dallas: pulls out his pistols
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): 6/10
Zach Dallas slides one pistol back into a pocket and pulls a handful of cards to check his luck
[w] Zach Dallas: can I Deal for Deflection?
Stinky Pete: Well, this sure is a rocky start to our evening
Stinky Pete draws rifle
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yes
Uriel Iscariot: Eventually, I'm just going to cave and speak as crudely as you, stinky.
Stinky Pete: I finally boulder-ed you over, huh?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You get a straight.
The chamber shudders and a massive humanoid made of rock and dirt tears itself free from the wall.

The Wailing Doom punches Ezekial, he flies backwards but manages to roll with the blow and take no extra damage.

A large humanoid form, it looks like a Chinese Ogre, bursts from an alcove, runs over to Weematai, and punches her.
